Today I am so pleased to welcome S.C. Wynne to Joyfully Jay. S.C. has come to talk to us about her latest release, Starting New. She has also brought along a great tour wide giveaway. Please join me in giving her a big welcome!

My Five Favorite Things to Write About

  • Angsty, guarded heroes. I love a damaged hero. I can’t help it. I love to take them from hating everyone to finally loving someone. I think I’m a rather untrusting person and it comes through in my characters.
  • Grieving heroes. I like taking a man who thinks he’s lost it all and show him life has only just begun.
  • Gay for You. I find the idea of forbidden love sexy. The slow build-up of attraction is fun to write and read.
  • I like having characters who are cops probably because they tend to be alpha males. I love showing the soft underbelly of an alpha male.
  • Nerd and Cowboys. Nerds are fun because they are vulnerable and I can find a lot of humor in moments with them. Cowboys are fun because COWBOYS. There’s just something sexy about a tough, silent man.

Blurb

Starting NewLife hasn’t been good to Francis Murphy. He’s survived twenty-one years of homelessness by hooking and taking handouts where he can find them. When the local shelter is vandalized, he’s forced to seek food at the Grace and Light Church, where he runs into the pastor’s son, Randy.

Randy Wright believes the best in others. He’s immediately drawn to Francis, even though Francis is hardened and wary. When Francis is attacked by one of his johns, Randy and his family take him in and offer him temporary work. Randy always thought he was straight, but something about Francis has him yearning for more than just friendship, and realizing he might be bisexual.

Francis is attracted to Randy too, and Randy and his parents say they’ve always believed in gay rights. But talk is cheap. What are the odds that these Christian parents will remain open-minded when it’s their own son in a relationship with another man?


Bio

S.C. Wynne started writing m/m in 2013 and did look back once. She wanted to say that because it seems everyone’s bio says they never looked back and, well, S.C. Wynne is all about the joke. She loves writing m/m, and her characters are usually a little jaded, funny, and ultimately redeemed through love.

S.C loves red wine, margaritas, and Seven and Sevens. Yes, apparently she is incredibly thirsty. She loves the rain and should really live in Seattle, but instead has landed in sunny, sunny, unbelievably sunny California. Writing is the best profession she could have chosen because she’s a little bit of a control freak. To sit in her pajamas all day and pound the keys of her laptop, controlling the every thought and emotion of the characters she invents, is a dream come true.

If you’d like to contact S.C. Wynne, she can be found amusing herself on Facebook at all hours of the day, or you can contact her at scwynne@dslextreme.com.
